Some more of the post-accident/repair pics can be found here

There's still a bunch of minor issues that needs to be looked at, fortunately i get a lifetime warranty on the repairs so it's no biggie

I'm still amazed at how they were able to match the paint down to the sparkles.

FYI, they repainted the entire back, blended it into the trunk lid (which is partially repainted), entire right side fender and rear passenger door blended into the front passenger door, blending into the left side fender.

 

 

Looks good !

 

how much does it cost to paint the bumpers my shop is quoting me 150 each bumper... is that a good price

BTW it looks super nice!

 

The shop did a good job.

 

That's a GREAT price.

 

i got hit in the same area.
dude, we had almost the same parts replaced.

i thought my car would never be the same.
im pretty happy with the reults tho. if i knew how to post pics i would show before and after too.

 

looks like new...good job

 

Lookin good Mikey!!!

 

The repairs look very good, Mike. Are you gonna hang on to it?

Also, are you and your G/F fully 'recovered'? I recall you saying that both of you were pretty sore and had some neck pain. Hope both of you are doing well....

 

Thanks for the props guys Like i said there are some minor adjustments that need to be made, but as far as the ride goes - if not for the wrong re-installation of the RSB (still need to readjust that) it actually feels tighter now than before, may also have something to do with the new rear beam.

Playero, i think $150 sounds like a very good price. Just make sure that not only do they match the paint but that they blend it in with the panels. There's always going to be that *slight* difference, blending it in makes it even less noticeable. If i de-itemize my bill, the bumper R&I + Painting easily reaches $300.

Nissan2k2specV, LMK if you need help posting them.

Bluesbrekr, most probably i'll keep it. I've grown very attached to the Max it's hard letting it go. There's that lingering feeling that "it's a damaged car" but otherwise i think i'll be okay with it. Me and my G/F are doing a lot better - was just released from therapy a couple weeks ago. I might go back as my back still hurts. But at least i can turn my head L-R-L now

 

 

sounds good, whats your email addy so i can send em to you. or instruction on how would be cool too.

 

You have mail

 

$150 is dirt cheap for a bumper repaint.

you sure its a good shop?

 

Looks good
